Rural and quiet
We had a very enjoyable week staying in the cottage. It’s ideal for a couple with a well equipped kitchen, sofa and tv area, dining table and a lovely airy bedroom with a modern bathroom. For a change we took advantage of a couple of breakfasts in the farmhouse which were really nice. Lobhill Farmhouse is in a very pretty quiet rural location. On reflection we didn’t make enough use of the woods and walk to the Vinyard but there is only so much you can do in a week. Being centrally located we took long days out travelling to both coasts and Dartmoor, managing to see places we hadn’t visited before. A busy and enjoyable holiday.
